I see AD listings from Conde Nast and other editorial companies, but for some reason it feels like a far away world from traditional ad agency life. Has anyone made such a transition?

I have tried and tried to make the transition and never get a second interview even though I have lions in my book. They just want graphic designers and fashion people. I don’t think they understand that the work we do in agencies and our perspective would translate beautifully in editorial and fashion. Sigh.

@CW1 They want to see lots of actual fashion work and heavy design work in your book

The tittle of Art Director in an editorial role is as different from us (advertising Art Director s) as an Art Director in a film crew. We’re visually conceptual creatives, ADs in editorial are closer to graphic designers.

Worth noting that editorial designers and brand designers are as wide apart as product designer and brand designers are.

I’v been in digital marketing for almost 5 years. I want to switch to marketing operations or research, because I find I’m better at and more interested in market research, audience research than keyword research or writing ad copies. I applied for some marketing research and operations roles, but no luck.

I understand I don’t have enough direct experience and platform experience, like Nielsen.

Any advice?
